PokerFrame (called from a viewer class) worked perfectly, but once I tried to convert it to an applet, it won’t load. I don’t get any runtime exceptions, just a blank applet space. I won’t be able to respond/pick an answer until hours from now, but I’d really appreciate any insights anyone might have….

I can see two weak points in your code.
First.
If your applet consists of several classes, you should add
codebaseattribute to yourapplettag, to let it know where to find them.For example:
So, in this example, your
PockerApplet.class, PokerFrame.classand other used classesshould be in
classesfolder.If you don’t use
codebaseattribute, then your classes should be in the same folder where your html page withapplettag resides.Do you consider this?
Second.
Your applet
init()method seems strange. Try to use the following variant:You can get more help, after you add SSCCE code to your question.
